If you check the timeline on the first page of this thread you'll see mine showed up on WW a day before it was even loaded onto the ship. I think if you don't see it early it's either not on the ship or can't be traced. Lots of people can't trace by VIN for some reason. If that happens you have to pick one and pretend

If you search for just "WBAW" in cargo field of WW track and trace, there are loads of VIN's showing "Received at Terminal" for 06/09/2011. Unfortunately not mine.

I still can't see my VIN either!!! I also did a VIN prefix search and got 6 VIN's the same as mine bar the last three digits that are on the boat that left yesterday. I guess either not all VIN's are logged or an alternative shipping company is used for 'our' F25's. I can't beleive that 4 orders will miss the boat??

I found the chassis number either side of mine and those are bound for Australia....

I could not find any bookings for the independence 2 voyage though.

I agree with the mobi number, I was also hoping to have a webcam on the dock or ship. I would be sad enough to watch every car going into the hold.

I can find loads of bookings for the Manon which is tomorrows ship but nothing of any bookings on the Independence like 'Washy', very strange.

haha.... the track & trace must be getting plenty of hits from folks like us...

no i still don't see my VIN either... guess just have to trust the dealer when he says it's expected to be here in 2 wks... so rather 1 1/2 wks now...

Although I can't see my order on WW tracker my stealer unexpectedly pinged today, news that my F25 was on its way and is now likely to be available 22 - 28 September, subject to UK delivery and customs stuff etc. - a welcome surprise as this is a week earlier than prior notification. If this is accurate my F25 must be on an earlier boat than the Independence II that we are all assuming.

I hope mines on the same ship then 'Tank531'. That may still mean the Independence is the ghost ship with nothing listed. Arrival in Southampton 25th September. Unless BMW use a different port than southampton or a different company? Still got all fingers crossed i get the call later this week.

Interesting the Integrity and the Independence 2 are operated by ARC who lease space on the ships to WW. I wonder if that is why the WW tracking system does not have the details....

Hi, tank531,

Mine went into production on the 15th August, wondering if this is around your build week. Might have made the earlier ship also.

My current status is: built wk34 and delivery wk 39. Prior to that I had delivery wk 40 and originally wk 41. Its the delivery that has come down by two weeks since production, as more accurate info has become available. Need to get to the bank now so I dont delay the collection following the good news.., the race is on...
